Even more peculiar, Asian manufacturer's use mild steel brake hard lines that are coated with a rubber/plastic covering that totally eliminates corrosion. We regularly see a customer's 27-year-old daily driver Nissan that has been exposed to winter road salt since day one, and the original factory mild steel hard lines are in perfect condition. Just a few more cents can make all the difference.....
